Queer(ing) Data in Healthcare Research and Practice

Description

This SGSSS-funded workshop will engage PhD researchers in methodological training for queering data in science, technology, innovation, and healthcare research and practice. The morning will start with short presentations by the workshop leads, including an introduction to queer data research and practice, and a guest speaker working in data and innovation, who will pose real-world problems for attendees to tackle in the workshop remainder. Attendees will work collaboratively to learn, employ and create ‘queer’ data practices, including applying issues of normativity to data science, and will be supported by the guest speaker and workshop leads through regular sharing and collective problem solving. Attendees will explore the difference(s) between perspective, embodiment, and action within data science and innovation, through the lens(es) of healthcare infrastructures, to determine pathways for studying and creating queer technological change within existing NHS digital systems. Attendees will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that they can employ in their research and professional work.
